Dodgy Polling Questions

That YouGov poll that apparently shows that a majority believe the minimum wage is too low? (see here). You can find the report from YouGov here. Only two questions published (I assume they took many more). Question 2 is:

"And at what, if at all, age do you think someone should start receiving the minimum wage?"

The question seems fair enough. Not so convinced by the possible answers, one of which is:

"Not applicable, I do not believe anyone should receive a minimum wage"

Not quite the same as:

"Not applicable, I do not believe the Government should enforce a minimum wage"

is it?

Maths Problems

Over at Liberal Conspiracy they report on a YouGov poll regarding the minimum wage. The headline reads:

"Poll: Majority thinks minimum wage is too low"

Then it goes on to say:

"On the day that the minimum wage was raised to £5.93 per hour, 48% think that the minimum wage is now too low, 41% about right, and 4% think it is too high."

Tip: 48% < 1/2
